McConnell Gatekeeper Snubs Questions Outside the Senator’s DC Home

Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell has been out of the public eye for nearly two months after a hospitalization and rehab stay, as his chief of staff Terry Carmack—reported to earn about $226,850 annually—refused to answer a reporter’s questions outside McConnell’s Washington, D.C. home. Video also shows a healthcare worker present while Carmack and the aide declined to comment on the senator’s health or absence. New footage noted lift-recliner chairs at the door, underscoring ongoing mobility concerns; the senator’s health status remains murky since the June 14 episode.
